Standby uses only the tiniest trickle of power...but it uses it constantly. I find personally that I burn a lot more power in standby than reading, and B&N numbers back that up. If you can get 150 hours if you are using it constantly at 1 page a minute versus 30hrs over 60 days, the later means that you use 20% of the device battery charge in actual use and 80% in standby. I tend to read more than the half hour per day (generally more than an hour) and I seem to be getting probably about 40 days at a little over an hour per day, which means my use is probably closer to 40% of the battery power gets used from actual use and 60% in standby still.
Just some food for thought.

That's awful. I don't know how you manage to go as long as 40 days with an hour per day of reading. How was your battery in the first charging cycles?
